Fear of The Lord

Proverbs: Chapter 1  verse 7

The fear of The LORD

is the beginning of knowledge

but

fools despise wisdom

and

instruction.

***

I think I shall ask The LORD for more knowledge and wisdom today, I do not want to be a fool, I pray that I do have the fear of The LORD and I certainly do not despise wisdom and knowledge.

For my part I know that I do love wisdom and knowledge, also I do know that I definitely need more!  Thank you LORD God that you continue to fill me afresh each day, also with the knowledge and love of Jesus.

So let us just think where are we really going to get this knowledge and wisdom from……well I think it does help to read our Bible  because it has been written for our learning. Therefore if we decide not to read, then we are limiting our brains to absorb knowledge and wisdom from the Apostles and followers of Jesus that are written about in the most Holy Book.

Lots of them were not clever people but with the account of their lives we can learn from their mistakes. (Hopefully we can!)

So where does the FEAR come from then?

You see we are not to be afraid of our God because He is the God of Love.  Our only fear is to be that we really don’t acknowledge Him as we should and that we don’t always walk in the knowledge that He is our Heavenly Father and He Loves us even more than our earthly fathers love us.

We do fear being chastised by our earthly fathers and need to realize that our Heavenly Father does chastise us too.

So that FEAR OF THE LORD

is that we DO NOT need to be

FRIGHTENED OF THE LORD OUR GOD.

I hope you have a lovely day walking in the Love and Knowledge, Wisdom and Joy of our Lord Jesus Christ and God our Heavenly Father.
